LPRFC D4 39 Chicago Riot 10

A convincing win for the Flying Forties as they take their league record to 2-0. Park were comfortable in all phases as backs and forwards combined for 6 tries.

It took only two minutes for Park to get on the scoreboard when Olander broke through from his fly-half position. Sampey converted and his accuracy from the tee this season is helping Park add to their points and apply pressure to opposing teams.

Despite an inexperienced second row – Patat moving up from the backrow and David a more welcome move back from the coalface – Park’s scrum was solid and gave Jewell from No. 8 and Thomas at 9 a solid platform from which to launch attacks.

Brown, making his first full start, was a busy and energetic addition to the backrow and there is more promise to come.

Park did receive a temporary setback in the twelth minute when the Riot pulled back a try, a rare letdown in Park’s defence.

Jewell scored Park’s second try finishing a great team move with a pass from Carroll and a long run from Sampey added to the score in the 30th minute.

Early in the second half, the Riot once again gave Park cause for concern but following this early try, Park took control of the game.

Rosenfeld put Callovini clear to touchdown and Jewell added his second.

A diving tackle from Short close to Park’s line did prevent a Riot foray turning into points but a try, conversion and penalty from Sampey closed out the game.

Team: Short, Nicholas (Rowley), Sowa, David, Patat (Panzica), Lyons, Brown, Jewell (Manyara), Thomas (Kishore), Olander, Rosenfeld, Barnett (Huschen / Kravchuk), Carroll (Brady), Callovini (Herrera), Sampey

Try: Jewell 2, Sampey 2, Olander 1, Callovini 1
Con: Sampey 3
Pen: Sampey 1

LPRFC D3 12 Chicago Riot 79

With a patched up side, Park were overmatched by one of the Division’s top teams. With several players unavailable, it was always going to be a difficult matchup especially in the pack where Park were fortunate to find 8 able bodies.

The Riot came out of the blocks hard and scored 4 tries in the opening quarter before Park were able to use the kicking game a little more effectively to relieve some of the constant pressure.

There were bright spots even in such a lopsided score. The Mullen to Carey connection in the lineout was a constant source of possession with Carey also being a threat at many of the breakdowns. Heatley too provided a nuisance defensively from the unfamiliar position of No 8.

It was winger turned wing-forward Mechling whose workrate impressed the most, throwing his body into the fray against much bigger foes.

While always difficult for Park’s backs to get much frontfoot ball, on the occasions they did, they looked to attack wide with newcomer Hennessy proving to be a slippery runner and Prengaman scoring a try in the corner on his return to the side.

In the second half “Miles” Davis scored Park’s second try with an interception from 30 yards and the clock was turned back to circa 1998, the last time Wilson appeared in the No 8 jersey.

Team: Primdahl (McCaffrey), Mullen, Larios, Carey (Wilson), David, Fraser, Mechling, Heatley (Eppert), Aiello, Olander, Hennessey (Engle), Huschen, Frisch, Prengamen (Davis), Burke

Try: Prengamen 1, Davis 1
Con: Olander 1
